Hey all, Sam here. I try to do this post twice a year, each time covering a six-month chunk of time, but a lot of books come out in that span of time and while I anticipate a whole bunch of books each year, the reality is that I don't come close to reading all… Continue reading Most Anticipated Releases (Jan-June 2025)
Hey all, Sam here. It's the 25th of December, so why not have a post today? Merry Christmas to those who celebrate today, and a Happy Holidays in general because there are so many different holidays at this time of year. I've seen a lot of posts across social media talking about the 25 books… Continue reading 25 in 2025
Hey all, Sam here. Gosh, it feels weird to be finishing this post up and prepping it to go live when there is snow on the ground, especially since I would definitely classify this as a fall/spooky season read. Although, having said that, I will also say that you absolutely can read it at any… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Haunted Ever After by Jen DeLuca
Hey all, Sam here. Well, I was not as successful at reading in November as I had originally hoped, especially since I had planned to read a bunch of novellas and some short novels. I was also hoping to get a decent amount written for PaWriCo, so I'll have my November writing check-in tomorrow or… Continue reading November Wrap-Up
Hey all, Sam here. Several years ago, I had a book blog friend who hosted a reading challenge at the end of the year called Diverse December...and while I read diversely year-round, it is nice to also have months where I focus on and highlight those diverse reads and diverse authors just a little more… Continue reading Diverse December Plans
Hey all, Sam here. It has been quite the eventful month, even if it has been not so very productive when it comes to consistent writing, but I should have expected as much because November is usually a difficult month to keep creatively progressing. I know that from 16 years of participating in NaNoWriMo. But… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 3 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. All right, it's time to get a few more posts up, mostly because I have a lot of books to talk about and the longer I procrastinate on that, the worse it gets. I've read over 115 books so far this year (which is actually a semi-low number for me, but… Continue reading NetGalley Review: La Vie de Guinevere by Paula Lafferty
Hey all, Sam here. I guess I'm going to start today's post by referring back to the two previous posts about PaWriCo: first the announcement of my project goals and deadline, and second my Week 1 Check-In. It has been a week since that last check-in, so if I'm serious about trying to work towards… Continue reading PaWriCo Week 2 Check-In
Hey all, Sam here. I had to delete the first two paragraphs of today's post...because I had drafted it to be published back in June. Yep, that's right, June. I have been really terrible about blogging about the books I've read in the past couple of years. Honestly, I've looked back at my year-end lists… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne
Hey all, Sam here. So...I'll be completely honest...I have like 20 partially drafted posts for this blog, and some of them have been sitting in the drafts for a few months now. I have had quite a few books in the past handful of months that I've wanted to read and review in time for… Continue reading NetGalley Review: The Spellbook Library, Vol 1 by Uta Isaki
